My dog thinks he’s getting supper. He stole a loaf of bread. So he isn’t.

Very useful take from someone who understands this really well

@Radical_EgoCom @dragonsidedd also see Cold War propaganda. In the now destroyed Soviet Union most people were fed and housed. It’s far too easy to go with the capitalist narrative. Not saying things were great or perfect. There is a reason SU and China made capitalist powers froth as much as they did.

Missed out tuning SQL.

Nearly 40 years before the mast man and boy. 😀

So it’s new job / income source time again. Old company ran out of money.

Sitting with a notebook and cuppa in the garden thinking. Not letting myself write any code or use computer for at least a couple of days.

If you know anyone in the market for senior full stack Rails/React/Hotwire person please get in touch.

Just come out if small co CTO so can do that too.

Plus pairing, mentoring, architecture review. Code base review and critique.

@skry I wouldn’t hang them. Use their fortunes to move people off polluted land and make the execs live there with their families and clean it up. With toothbrushes.

Podur makes an interesting point. Israel has mobilised everyone and smashed everything. After the continuous destruction Palestinians can’t be threatened into silence any more so they will fight. They’ve been lied to so many times that they will keep fighting. Israel is losing. But the price the Palestinians are paying, terrible.

@skry

Doesn’t address dirty supply chains though. So destructive practices to get raw materials aren’t addressed. Typical window dressing.

Just posted this on Xhitter:

I've seen a lot of people supporting the genocide here ... I sincerely hope you eventually regain your empathy, and until that day, the children you're ignoring haunt you in your sleep.

Waste of time

Today’s lesson is - do not argue with zionist trolls on Twitter, rather like the saying about wresting with a pig - you get frustrated and the pig enjoys it too much.

There is hope.

“… after over forty years of neoliberal mismanagement, concluding with the austerity, social decay, and political crises of the last decade or so, the country is in need of radical modernisation, not a moderate clinging to established structures and habits. In short, we cannot simply put the grown-ups (whoever they may be) back in charge and return to a centrist Eden.”
